Heels get a 'second chance' at CWS

Posted Jun 14, 2007

As the third-seeded Tar Heels prepare for their second consecutive trip to Omaha (they open play 7 p.m. Friday against Mississippi State) they are not only looking to avenge their loss to Oregon State in the championship series -- but also to erase the memories of how it happened. "We get a second chance,'' said catcher Tim Federowicz, who is well aware that the Beavers have returned to the eight-team field. (Raleigh News & Observer)
